Hello guys. A lot of error message screens on my display appeared so far. Error messages regarding system problems, no more no less. So far, I know that faulty hard disk drive really can make system stuff corrupted and malfunctioned. At least one friend of mine told me so, because my level of computer knowledge is not that much high. Beside those messages, other weird things such as “folder cannot be deleted – error” also showing up. This is due to the hard drive corruption, right?

Probably. This behavior occurs when the computer system is attacked by some crazy Trojan or when bad sectors begin to play with your HDD surface. In the case of bad sectors or clusters, there is often no permanent solution, but temporal such as low level format. Maybe regular format with integrity check will handle all the stuff, but that is just not reliable, at least not for believing. Which means that you are going to isolate that part of the drive with some advanced utility if you don’t want to replace your hard drive with the new one.
